At the end of the day when you’re 6’4 265 and your team is asking you to get a 3rd and 1 or 4th and a foot and you don’t get the job done, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

PFT - In a recent appearance on KNBR in San Francisco, Jacobs addressed the question of whether he can still go north-south in a short-yardage situation. (It’s a good question because, recently, he hasn’t.) “You gotta have the attitude to do it, and also you gotta have the offensive linemen in front of the back to be able to get it done,” Jacobs said, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “I think the 49ers have what it takes to be able to get that yard. No one’s perfect — somebody’s gonna get a step on you at some point somewhere and you’re not gonna be perfect. Because we had issues. When I was with the Giants, we had issues down the line. Of course I took the blame for those [because I was] holding the ball.” And then, in apparently the same breath, Jacobs backtracks. “But ultimately, at the end of the day it is my fault because I do have the ball and that’s what people see,” Jacobs said. “But there’s a lot more than that going on. But like I said, I think the 49ers definitely got what it takes to be able to get that one yard. I think they had the highest percentage in the league all of last year with those conversions.”

We all know a good running game is as much of the O Line as it is the guy carrying the football, but Brandon Jacobs needs to get fucking real. Sure, the Giants O Line wasn’t as great as it was in years past. But it was good enough to give Eli and his trio of receivers enough time to be the biggest deep threat in the league. It was good enough to win the Super Bowl. And at the end of the day when you’re 6’4 265 and your team is asking you to get a 3rd and 1 or 4th and a foot and you don’t get the job done, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

You know if Jacobs wasn’t such a dickhead, and his O Line was really that bad, I wouldn’t mind him saying anything. Like if they were Wayne Hunter-and-the-Jets bad and Jacobs never opened his mouth and this is the one time he defended himself, I think people wouldn’t really care. Its not like he really said anything that harsh. But the fact that the Giants O Line is probably the hardest working, blue collar unit of men in the entire world and Brandon Jacobs is the biggest loud mouth jabroni out there, I think he just comes off like another salty Giants cast off dickhead. Just like Tiki. Those two should be best friends.

As a lifelong cowboys fan, I have always known Jacobs to be a sh*t talking piece of trash…..the giants are hearing the same garbage he has been spewing for years…..only now its directed at them…..he is such a pu$$y

@loadshooter – damn right about bradshaw. Ive said this before about him he never gets crazy stats but i honestly think he might be the hardest running RB in the NFL. Guy just does not care about his own well being.

He’s not wrong. Yeah obviously his own performance was far from the greatest, but how many times during the regular season did we watch the Giants’ RBs crash into the back of their own O-line because the linemen couldn’t open a hole? During the regular season, the O-line was one of the biggest problems with the Giants, and we shouldn’t forget that just because we won the Super Bowl and traded away that loudmouth Jacobs.
Gmen is right about Bradshaw though.

You have a Rangers only writer, just hired a Yankees writer, now where is the Giants writer? I already have to listen to Jets fans on WFAN (the home of the New York Giants) talk about my team, don’t need another one on barstool doing the same.

Your an idiot, KFC. Bradshaw had the lowest 3rd and short conversion in the league. Yes, Jacobs tiptoes and wants to be a scatback sometimes, but the gmen runblocking was garbage last yr (and Eli took a pounding when he dropped back). Keep your lazy eye focused on the jets, bruh.
